Seller Insight
The property dates back to the late 18th early 19th century and in its former life it was the village pub so all in all it s hugely characterful, and its historical value was definitely one of the many things that attracted us to it when we came across it back in 1998, says the owners. However, we also loved its location right in the heart of the village, and were also drawn to its wealth of potential.
As well as totally renovating the property, there were also extensions added to both the side and back of the building, which have given a huge amount of extra space. Upstairs and in those extensions the house is really quite modern, but we ve retained all of the gorgeous period features in the original part of the building so there s a nice contrast between the old and the new. Since 2022 the bathrooms and en suites have been refitted to a high standard, and in late 2023, all windows and doors to the property were replaced. In addition, there recently also recently been internal and external painting rendering of the property. In short, the work that has been undertaken on the property has ensured that it has been transformed into a really beautiful family home.
We also love the versatility of the house; it s a property with a fantastic layout that can be adapted and changed depending on the family s needs. For example, we have a lovely bright downstairs en suite bedroom, which looks out onto the garden, and that s been ideal for guests, but on occasion we ve also used it as a home office when we were working from home. It is currently being used as a bright and airy study
The garden is another really nice feature. It s a very manageable size with mature shrubs and trees around the edges, which give superb amount of privacy. There s a large lawn and a big patio for alfresco entertaining, and we also have a pretty pergola so there s a variety of places to sit out and relax in.
The village itself is a very friendly place with a good selection of shops and amenities, all just a short walk from the house. There are three pubs, two village general shops, a post Office, a pharmacy, a dentist, a fantastic local butcher, a Chinese takeaway In fact, there s so much here, there s very little need to venture further afield. It s also a very active place with clubs for among other things, tennis, bowling, cricket and football, including varied amenities and clubs for children. The fact we re just a short distance from Paxton Pits nature reserve and Grafham Water, where you can go sailing, walking, cycling, fishing or just sit in the caf and enjoy the view is another added bonus!
The house has been a wonderful home, but it s the setting that I think we ll miss most when we move. There s a fantastic sense of community here so it s very easy to integrate, and there s so much do. We ll also be sad to say goodbye to our fabulous neighbours!
